Community Investment

Each year, MultiCare commits financial resources to multiple community programs and services, invests in capital projects to improve our facilities for patients and helps ensure low-income or uninsured patients get the care they need, regardless of their ability to pay. Here is a summary of the support we provided in 2025.

These programs or activities go beyond patient care, are available to the general public and are primarily subsidized by MultiCare. These services are grouped into four categories.

• Health Professional Education: $37,576,000
• Subsidized Community & Health Services: $55,799,000
• Community Outreach & Building: $9,635,000
• Community Sponsorships: $1,444,000
• Total: $104,454,000

These are the unreimbursed costs of providing care to low-income and special needs populations, including:

• Payment Shortfalls: $394,087,000
• Cost of Service: $101,144,000
• Total: $495,231,000

In 2025, we invested over $500 million in capital expansions, replacements and improvements across our communities. Notable projects include:

• Opening new neighborhood emergency departments in Bremerton, Lynnwood and Union Gap
• Expanding urgent care access by opening several Indigo locations in Central Washington, Idaho, as well as Thurston and Pierce counties
• Advancing construction of the new MultiCare Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital, which opened in May 2026, which has included new parking garages for staff and visitors and a utility project to support more efficient power and heating
• Continuing investment in MultiCare Yakima Memorial Hospital through infrastructure improvements and replacements and surface-level renovations to improve the aesthetics, comfort and functionality of the campus
• Investing in the expansion of cardiology services in Olympia in partnership with Pulse Heart Institute
